If you manage a property in Eton with fire extinguishers on site, it’s common to have questions about servicing requirements, compliance and what to expect during a visit. Below are answers to some of the questions we’re most frequently asked by local clients.
1. How long does a fire extinguisher service take in Eton?
Each extinguisher typically takes around three to five minutes to service. Overall visit duration depends on the number of units on site, with disruption kept to a minimum.
2. What documentation is provided after servicing?
After servicing, clear service records are provided confirming the work carried out, the condition of each extinguisher and any recommendations. An asset register can also be supplied if needed.
3. Do new fire extinguishers require servicing and maintenance?
All extinguishers must be commissioned once installed at the premises where they will be used. New extinguishers purchased online or from a retailer are not ready for use until commissioning is completed by a competent person. Annual servicing then applies thereafter.

BS 5306 is the British Standard that covers the installation and maintenance of fire extinguishers. It provides guidance on selection, commissioning and ongoing servicing best practice.
